Comparisons of bulk compositions between the silicic clast (Dacite; this work), Apollo evolved samples and several terrestrial andesite/dacites (see text): a SiO2 vs. MgO + FeO, b SiO2 vs. Al2O3, c SiO2 vs. Na2O + K2O, d SiO2 vs. Mg#. Rocks shown in the plot include: the silicic clast (dacite; this work); KREEP basalt (Hubbard et al. 1973; Rhodes and Hubbard 1973; Murali et al. 1977; Warren and Wasson 1978; Warren et al. 1978; Salpas et al. 1987; Simon et al. 1988); QMD (Taylor et al. 1980; Lindstrom et al. 1988; Marvin et al. 1991; Ryder and Martinez 1991; Jolliff et al. 1993; Fagan et al. 2014); granite/felsite (Quick et al. 1977; Warren et al. 1983; Morris et al. 1990; Jolliff et al. 1991; Snyder et al. 1992; Seddio et al. 2013); granitic breccia (Morris et al. 1990); terrestrial ferroan (TF) andesite/dacite (Shimazu et al. 1985; Gust and Arculus 1986; Imai et al. 1995; Togashi et al. 2000; Sensarma and Palme 2013)
